IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!  
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric shock  
or personal injury.  
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
Use this appliance only for its intended  
purpose as described in this Owner’s  
Manual.  
Turn the mode control to OFF and unplug  
your air conditioner before making any  
repairs or cleaning.  
OpeagIructions  
This air conditioner must be properly  
installed in accordance with the Installation  
Instructions before it is used.  
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any  
servicing be performed by a qualified  
individual.  
Never unplug your air conditioner by  
pulling on the power cord. Always grip  
plug firmly and pull straight out from  
the receptacle.  
For your safety…do not store or use  
combustible materials, gasoline or other  
flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity  
of this or any other appliance.  
Repair or replace immediately all electric  
service cords that have become frayed or  
otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord  
that shows cracks or abrasion damage  
along its length or at either the plug or  
connector end.  
laIructions  
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY  
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove  
the third (ground) prong from the power cord.  
For personal safety, this appliance must be  
properly grounded.  
The air conditioner should always be  
plugged into its own individual electrical  
outlet which has a voltage rating that matches  
the rating plate.  
T
The power cord of this appliance is equipped  
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates  
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall  
outlet to minimize the possibility of electric  
shock hazard from this appliance.  
This provides the best performance and also  
prevents overloading house wiring circuits  
which could cause a fire hazard from  
overheated wires.  
rubleshotingT  
See the Installation Instructions, Electrical  
Requirements section for specific electrical  
connection requirements.  
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a  
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is  
properly grounded.  
ips  
Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,  
it is your personal responsibility and obligation  
to have it replaced with a properly grounded  
3-prong wall outlet.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.  
WARNING!  
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS115-Volt models only  
Because of potential safety hazards under certain  
CAUTION:  
DO NOT use an extension cord with any of  
the 230/208 volt models.  
conditions, we strongly recommend against the  
use of an extension cord.  
SafeyIructions  
However, if you must use an extension cord,  
it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed,  
14 gauge, 3-wire grounding type appliance  
extension cord having a grounding type plug  
and outlet and that the electrical rating of the  
cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 125 volts.  
USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS –115-Volt models only  
Because of potential safety hazards under  
certain conditions, we strongly recommend  
against the use of an adapter plug.  
When disconnecting the power cord from  
the adapter, always hold the adapter in place  
with one hand while pulling the power cord  
plug with the other hand. If this is not done,  
the adapter ground terminal is very likely to  
break with repeated use.  
OpeagIructions  
However, if you must use an adapter,  
where local codes permit, a temporary  
connection may be made to a properly  
grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use of  
a UL-listed adapter available at most  
local hardware stores.  
If the adapter ground terminal breaks,  
DO NOT USE the air conditioner until a  
proper ground has been established.  
The larger slot in the adapter must be  
aligned with the larger slot in the wall  
outlet to provide proper polarity in the  
connection of the power cord.  
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall  
outlet cover screw does not ground the appliance  
unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated,  
and the wall outlet is grounded through the house  
wiring. You should have the circuit checked by a  
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is  
properly grounded.

Care and cleaning of the air conditioner.  
Grille and Case  
Turn the air conditioner off and remove the  
plug from the wall outlet before cleaning.  
To clean, use water and a mild detergent.  
Do not use bleach or abrasives.  
SafeyIructions  
Outdoor Coils  
The coils on the outdoor side of the air  
conditioner should be checked regularly.  
If they are clogged with dirt or soot they may  
be professionally steam cleaned, a service  
available through your GE service outlet.  
OpeagIructions  
Air Filter  
The air filter behind the front grille should be  
checked and cleaned at least every 30 days or  
more often if necessary.  
To remove:  
Grasp the filter handle and pull it up and out.  
The filter can be cleaned with a vacuum  
cleaner to remove light dust or washed in  
warm, soapy water. Rinse and let the filter dry  
before replacing it. Do not expose the filter to  
heat or direct sunlight when drying.  
laIructions  
CAUTION: DO NOT operate the air conditioner  
without a filter because dirt and lint will clog it and  
reduce performance.

Preparing to install the air conditioner.  
Read these instructions completely and carefully.  
Before You Begin  
NOTE TO INSTALLER: Leave these instructions  
with the air conditioner after installation is  
completed.  
CAUTION:  
Do not, under any circumstances, cut  
or remove the third (ground) prong  
from the power cord.  
NOTE TO CONSUMER: Keep this Owner’s  
Manual and Installation Instructions for  
future use.  
OpeagIructions  
Do not change the plug on the power  
cord of this air conditioner.  
IMPORTANT NOTES:  
Aluminum house wiring may present  
special problems—consult a qualified  
electrician.  
For personal safety, this air conditioner must  
be properly grounded.  
It is important to have the wall outlet and  
circuit checked by a qualified electrician if  
there is any doubt as to whether a proper  
ground exists.  
Follow National Electric Codes (NEC) and/or  
local codes and ordinances.  
laIructions  
Electrical Requirements  
Some models require 115/120-volt  
a.c., 60 Hz grounded outlet protected  
with a 15-amp time delay fuse or  
circuit breaker.  
Some models require 230/208-volt  
a.c., protected with a time delay fuse  
or circuit breaker. These models  
should be installed on their own single  
branch circuit for best performance  
and to prevent overloading house or  
apartment wiring circuits, which could  
cause a possible fire hazard from  
overheating wires.  
The 3-prong grounding plug minimizes the  
possibility of electric shock hazard. If the wall  
outlet you plan to use is only a 2-prong outlet,  
it is your responsibility to have it replaced with  
a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

you may not need to call for service.  
SafeyIructions  
Problem  
Possible Causes  
What To Do  
Air conditioner  
does not start  
The air conditioner  
is unplugged.  
Make sure the air conditioner plug is pushed  
completely into the outlet.  
The fuse is blown/circuit  
breaker is tripped.  
Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replace  
the fuse or reset the breaker.  
Power failure.  
If power failure occurs, turn the mode control to OFF.  
When power is restored, wait 3 minutes to restart the  
air conditioner to prevent tripping of the compressor  
overload.  
Air conditioner does  
not cool as it should  
Airflow is restricted.  
Make sure there are no curtains, blinds or furniture  
blocking the front of the air conditioner.  
OpeagIructions  
The temp control may  
not be set high enough.  
Turn the knob to a higher number. The highest setting  
provides maximum cooling.  
The air filter is dirty.  
Clean the filter at least every 30 days. See the Care and  
cleaning of the air condtioner section.  
The room may have been hot.  
Cold air is escaping.  
When the air conditioner is first turned on you need to  
allow time for the room to cool down.  
Check for open furnace floor registers and cold  
air returns.  
Cooling coils have iced up.
